Manchester United's newest player has a second reason to celebrate this summer.

A week after he signed his United contract, Victor Lindelof has got engaged to long term girlfriend Maja Nilsson.

The pair are currently on holiday in the Maldives ahead of making the permanent move to Manchester, and Nilsson announced the news on her Instagram page with the caption: “YES!! ALWAYS AND FOREVER YES YES YES YES.”

After representing Sweden in the June internationals, he is now enjoying some time off ahead of meeting up with his new teammates for pre-season training on July 8. The squad will initially meet at Carrington for testing before flying to the US to begin the pre-season tour the following day.

Lindelof is expected to be one of the first choice centre backs for Jose Mourinho alongside Ivorian Eric Bailly, who enjoyed an excellent first season after signing from Villarreal 12 months' ago.

United agreed a fee of £30.8m with Benfica for Lindelof to make him the first signing of the summer, and he is expected to be followed by three more major signings to strengthen United's options in midfield, up front and on the wing.
